Marvel Studios

Why did you put a picture of John krasinski?

I'm thrilled with Vanessa Kirby. That's exciting.

I think Pedro has some nerd tendencies, hopefully he's not gonna play this like his Narcos character.

You can have a due date and still be "film as art".

The date might even move around, maybe it gets bumped a week, maybe moved to November, who knows.

Let's look at "Oppenheimer", that came out during the same timeframe as this film is expected to, late July. It started production in early 2022.

Fantastic Four is also starting (or already in) production. Each take a year and a half to be made. Why can't they both be art?

Making a film takes a lot of effort. So it makes sense that they would have a rough idea of how long it would take to make. Especially Disney/Marvel who have made A LOT of movies like this.

Studios schedule out pretty far in advance and every date affects everything else (they don't want their own movies competing with one another). And shooting schedules are affected by those schedules, which means your actors might not be available if you change something. MCU stuff is further complicated by the fact that there's links between the movies.

There's definitely movies that are made on a less strict time frame but you often don't see those put on the schedule until they're complete. So you'll see a long gap between when they're finished and when they're in theaters.

This is the good one.

Source trust me bro.

Yes?

Once released, it will have been 10 years since the last film (which was ok for the first two thirds, then a trash fire), and 20 years since the Fox series which was a very different brand of superhero movie. It was fitting for that era, but wildly different from what superhero movies look like nowadays.

Plus, it isn't like Lord of the Rings where the definitive version has already been made.

The Fantastic Four have a shared starting point, but after that they can go on a variety of different adventures.

yeah... i know "the multiverse" will make it easy to explain away.... but then again ALL Stranges, Wandas, and Antmans looked the same across the verses...

Also does he seem anything like the role? He plays scrappy underdog turned unwilling but very capable hero well. Does he have a captain America / researcher?

After Last of Us, I think he could pull it off, but you're right. Personally I think he'd have made a good Dr. Doom.

I think Cilian Murphy could pull off a proper monster Mr. Fantastic.

Honestly I hope not. Or have pre Doom Victor hanging out with Reed in a flashback. But give me Mole Man or something more low scale for the first movie

The only meaningful comment on this thread so far.

With Jonathan Majors out, they could be bringing Doom in but there haven't been any solid reports regarding what they're going to do about Kang.

Hell, they could have Deadpool and Wolverine eliminate Kang from the multiverse in their movie and end up creating Doom.

First off, I need to find out more about these actors. I know Pedro Pascal mostly from Mando and memes. The others I'm only vaguely aware of.

Thank you for asking the important question.

About 30 voice actors who didn't consent to an AI scraping.

why create something new when they have a huge back catalog to reboot over and over and over?

He can do it!

De derp de derp de diddly derpie doo!

Haha whoops! I love that Lemmy lets me edit the title

This year is the break. We only have 1 movie (Deadpool) this year and it was pushed back because of the strike. This is supposed to be the soft reboot leading up to the large reboot of secret wars.
